Love is Fear

I’m Hazel Moore and I am graduating at the top of my class with my best friends Zane and Lexus. I have landed my dream job as an executive chef at a new restaurant called Un-Jaded. Why is it now that when all of my dreams seem to be coming true that I can’t seem find true happiness? What is missing in my life?
I am just a normal, blue jean, t-shirt wearing kind of girl. There is nothing special about me or so I thought. Until I saw my image through the eyes of Zane. Apparently Zane has had a crush on me for the last four years. But why did he wait until his last party before graduation to tell me?
Should I take the chance on something more with Zane? All the while knowing that it could ruin everything. Is the risk worth the potential rewards? I know that with love comes heartache and I have had so much of that in my life. Can I take a risk at losing more than my best friend? If this doesn't work out, I would lose my heart because Zane would surely take it with him.
When the new restaurant opens its doors to the public for the first time, I reluctantly see an unwelcomed face, which I ignore. Upon leaving for the night, I was cornered by the unwelcomed man from my past. The same man who conveniently turned food critic. I ignored his forwardness. But was that the right thing to do? Am I destined to live a life of misery and pain do to my choices?
